Tragically, one of the principals behind TruffleRuby (and researcher at Shopify) was Chris Eaton and he passed away a few months ago.
I'm not sure where this leaves TruffleRuby itself, or plans to implement it at Shopify.
(Rest in peace, Chris, and may your memory be a blessing to those who knew you)

- cutler 4y agoWith due respect to the tireless efforts of the TruffleRuby team TruffleRuby always seemed fated to be forever almost ready. I first came across it in 2013, I think it was, but there was always a not-quite-ready factor. If I remember the show-stopper was that it was unlikely to ever be Rails compatible but I may be wrong.
